Pixelarium

This is very good pixel coloring game to relax with! I really enjoy the soundtrack and there are thousands of pictures to colour, of various sizes, without the need to pay for endless DLCs.

Best pixel game I have ever played! Thousands of free pictures compared to other games like Coloring Pixels where after several pictures you have to start paying for more (DLC).

For a color by numbers pixel art game, there is a massive selection and it's all at one price with no DLC to get the full collection, beyond the quantity and value though things go downhill. The user experience borders on non-existent. You have a small selection of filters to narrow down the art but isn't enough to really drill down on some of it. The actual color by number process is also lacking in a lot of quality of life features. While there's a bunch of settings to adjust the pixels, none of them actually give them high visibility as the two key modes that can't be tweaked is different shades of gray with black numbers/letters/symbols, or all black with grayscale shaded aformentioned glyphs. As you can guess, there's shades that make the glyphs really hard to see making the experience eye-straining. Additionally a lot of the art was imported with dithered interpolation instead of banded, so you're going to find yourself in a lot of situations where you have to literally click pixel by pixel to color a specific color, feeling less like painting a picture and more like an old lady hunting and pecking on a keyboard. The ability to fill and highlight pixels of a color you'r…

Great relaxing game.

There are a few issues. The annoying, continuous drip effect from the paint bucket can't be turned off without disabling the other visual effects, like the very satisfying pixel-filling animation. I've also had some problems with the game not recognizing the "0" key being pressed while typing in a color number. While I'm not a fan of most of the stock art myself, people have put a bunch of solid stuff on the workshop, and I liked this game enough to figure out how to bypass the workshop altogether (check my guide!), so that says something. Very good product for the satisfaction of turning some random image on your computer into a calming 20-hour exercise in square-clicking.

I've had many crashes while trying to create my own puzzles, crashes which in turn cause other programs (Steam, Chrome) to bug out and freeze or crash. Also, it's very frustrating when trying to create a puzzle and edit a color in one spot, only to find out it's used in another area. For example, green shadowing surrounding text being used in a person's clothes. If I want to change that color to black for the text, it's also going to add an awkward chunk of black in the clothes. There's only one way to avoid this issue and it's to change individual pixel colors one. By. One. I'd suggest that the devs allow you to use a selection tool so you can group a bunch of pixels at once to change their color. I bought this solely for the ability to turn my own photos into pixel art puzzles. I chose this over the Coloring Game DLC that does the same thing, and I think I've made a mistake.
